MultiEdit has a mechanism built in, that it called "templates"; this allowed
user to type two letters of a language construct, then SPACE, and it would
expand it into a complete language block. For example, I could type "wh[space]"
and it would expand to:
while () {
}
with the cursor sitting in the parentheses... I got very accustomed to this, and
somewhat miss it. While I can live without it, and there are many other things
that PsPad does MUCH better than ME, I just wanted to ask if something like this
exists in PsPad already ??
I see something called "Edit Clip Definition File", but don't know what it
actually does, nor how to use it. (BTW, I have no help in the program at all,
the Help and FAQ buttons are greyed out, don't know if that's expected
behavior...)
If something of this nature does *not* already exist, I would ask our developer
to please put this on his "think about" list... however, this is clearly a
massive endeavour to attempt, don't know if it's reasonable to try to completely
implement. (ME provided a complete set of dialogs to configure the formatting
of the templates for each language). :-P
